Mark Carney is making himself the moonshot Prime Minister – for better or for worse

Prime Minister Mark Carney is not managing expectations.

That’s what most politicians do when leading a country, or a province, or any other jurisdiction where millions of people are watching for lofty promises to turn into results. You under-promise and over-deliver, you fudge the timelines, and you temper your language so that you’re not saying you will land a man on the moon before the decade is out, but rather, that your country should “commit itself to achieving the goal, before this decade is out, of landing a man on the moon and returning him safely to the Earth.”

Russia soon to reach 1 million casualties in Ukraine war

Russia is projected to surpass the grim milestone of one million soldiers killed or wounded in action within the coming weeks amid a mounting summer offensive in Ukraine.

Despite continuing peace talks, Moscow has intensified its offensive action on the eastern front in Donbas and along the northern border in the Sumy region, capturing more territory in May than in any month since the end of 2024.

Russian forces are now taking an average of 14 sq km per day, twice as much as in April, according to Ukraine’s Deep State website, which monitors frontline movements.

Disguised “Agitators”: German Spy Agency Runs Thousands of Fake Social Media Accounts

German intelligence workers have reluctantly admitted they are running fake accounts on social media and are now unwilling to go into detail about their purpose.

287 such accounts are run by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution in Brandenburg alone, according to the response to a parliamentary question from the AfD. Party official Hans-Christoph Berndt said this suggests there could be “10,000 such disguised provocateurs” across the whole of Germany, joking that Erich Mielke—the Stasi boss whose tactics earned him the nickname “The Master of Fear”—“is back.”

From School Renaming Rules to School Board Takeovers: What Ontario’s New Education Bill Is About

Last week, Ontario Education Minister Paul Calandra introduced a bill that would give him sweeping powers to intervene when a school board has, in his words, “lost its way.” One key change would require school boards to get approval from the minister before renaming an existing school—a move that follows the Toronto District School Board’s decision earlier this year to rename three schools named after historical Canadian figures.

The main goal of the bill, called Bill 33 or the “Supporting Children and Students Act, 2025,” is to expand government oversight of school boards and allow faster intervention when concerns arise, particularly around financial mismanagement.

PINDER: When Alberta leaves Canada, Saskatchewan must go with it

In any discussion of Western independence, the inclusion of Saskatchewan is imperative. Over a range of issues regarding independence, it polls almost identically to Alberta. Further, not only does it add half of Canada’s current conventional oil production, world-leading reserves and production of potash and uranium, more than half of Canada’s arable land and an array of minerals, but Saskatchewan also prevents detractors from isolating Alberta.

‘Climate Homicide’ Is a New Front for Ridiculous Lawfare

There is a huge difference between a society under the rule of law and a society under the rule of lawyers. The rule of law treats law as a product of legitimate, deliberate democratic acts, which remains stable, predictable, written down for all to know until changed by another such act of the people. As George Washington described in his farewell address, “The Constitution which at any time exists, till changed by an explicit and authentic act of the whole people, is sacredly obligatory upon all.” The rule of lawyers, by contrast, sees law as an invitation for creativity by a small coterie of legal elites who can make it the vanguard for social change without consulting the governed.

Who is Ilhan Omar, and Does She Pose a Threat to America?

Unfortunately, from time to time, as a result of our humanitarian refugee programs, the United States accepts into our country individuals who don’t have the desire to assimilate and become valued members of our American family, and whose mere presence poses a threat to our country. A case in point is Minnesota Democrat Congresswoman Ilhan Omar.

Peter Menzies: The media must end its obsession with unnamed sources

If I spun you a tale about my life as a mercenary in the 2012 Guinea-Bissau coup d’etat, I’d probably get your attention.

It would be a ripping good yarn, filled with evil masterminds, hints of Bond villains, precious relics, and blood diamonds. I might even sprinkle it with how I’d heard that the Ark of the Covenant is guarded quietly and stored in Nokolo-Koba National Park, not far from the Gambia River.

The Greens are the favorite Western boatmen of the Muslim Brotherhood

Six years ago Greta Thunberg, the environmental icon who had seduced everyone (the Pope, Macron, the media, the UN), sailed towards America. Greta sailed with Pierre Casiraghi’s catamaran “Malizia II” towards the Climate Action Summit in New York.

Casiraghi is the younger son of Caroline, Princess of Hanover and the grandson of King Ranier and Grace Kelly of Monaco and on the management committee of the Yacht Club, very rich in sponsors: Rolex, Credit Suisse, Hermès, the luxury group LVMH and BMW, known for its cars of a not exactly eco-friendly range.

The ghost of the future is walking around Brussels

Molenbeek Belgium

Over the last month, we’ve seen an attack on Governor Josh Shapiro’s home, the killing of a young couple in D.C., and now a Molotov cocktail thrown at people peacefully protesting. By the way, what do these incidents have in common? The targets are all Jewish and the guy in Boulder, Colorado somehow managed to get a work permit after his visa expired.

Where else is stuff like this happening? Let’s check out Brussels, once a very traditional European city that tourists loved to visit. Well, check again because Brussels may be exhibit A of Europe’s disintegration and where uncontrolled immigration is running wild.

Jamie Sarkonak: Judge accuses cop of ‘unconscious’ anti-Black racism with ‘no direct evidence’

Justice Renu Mandhane is one of Ontario’s foremost judicial activists, so it should surprise no one that she’ll stoop to using racism as a basis to let Black men off the hook for possessing illegal guns.

That’s what happened at the end of March in the case of Robert Cameron, who had been pulled over and detained for having outstanding drug charges and a suspended license, and whose car, in the process, was discovered to be illegally housing an unlicensed firearm.

High school is forced to apologize and pay up to student they suspended for using term ‘illegal alien’ in class

An American teen suspended for using the term ‘illegal alien’ in class has finally received justice after his school was forced to apologize and pay out a massive $20,000 settlement.

The year-long free speech saga came to an end after a North Carolina district school board agreed to wipe the suspension off the record of Christian McGhee, who was a 16-year-old when his case was first thrust into the national spotlight by President Donald Trump.

No Backing Down: Wilders Sets Eyes on the Premiership

No one seems to be able to make sense of the political earthquake unleashed on the Hague by the populist firebrand Geert Wilders on Tuesday, June 3rd, by having his Freedom Party (PVV/PfE) quit the fragile right-wing coalition. Wilders cited as the reason his coalition partners’ unwillingness to tighten asylum rules—a key campaign promise that gave him a landslide victory back in 2023.

While some commentators are warning that an inevitable snap election would give the leftist opposition a chance at governance, Wilders remains unfazed by the pessimistic voices. In fact, he has already set course for the ultimate prize: becoming the prime minister who would actually deliver.

The federal government is refusing to release figures on how many undocumented immigrants remain in Canada, sparking criticism from opposition MPs and reigniting debate over immigration policy and capacity.

Conservative MP Michelle Rempel Garner (Calgary Nose Hill) called for a national deportation strategy in the House of Commons, blaming the Liberal government for overwhelming Canada’s infrastructure.
